Hints and Criticisms.

Preparation for Sabbath on Satur-
day will help one get to Church on
time Sabbath morning.
Children in pew with their
parents if under proper discipline,
behave better and go in and out less
than if left alone.
When Church is clean, warm and
comfortable, sermon can be much
better enjoyed and the preacher feels
and talks better.
If you cannot help your neighbor
by saying a good thing for him, it
might be better to leave some one
else the evil things to say.
If a paper is worth reading it
ought to be worth paying for as
somebody have to do the paying; if a
person don't complain, they certainly
get tired lending this paper.
When a person intends going to
Church and waits to hear the last
bell ring before he begins to prepare,
he will certainly walk heavy when he
gets in Church.
The preacher that can do his own
praying, singing, playing and preach
three times day, cant be beat, and
this city needs that kind Of man Just
now. But then, how long would he
last at it?
When person gets tired taking
paper, if he has not paid up he feels
bad to order it'stopped. So if man
wants to feel good and make the
editor feel badly, let him pay for
his paper then order it stopped.

Boston Transcript
The champion liar comes from Pike
county, Ind. and the following yarn
is probably the greatest effort Of his
life: A young lady who was watch
ing my binding harvester at work fell
upon the table and was carried up
with the grain. As the girl was about
the size of bundle, the machine did
not recognize the difference, and so
she came through with a neat little
string around her waist. One Of the
harvest hands caught her as the ma
chine kicked her out and set
her on the ground right side
up, when it was found that she had
been more frightened than hurt, >
Now, if this veraeious agrieulturalist
had only added that the machine
threshed the young woman and shook
from her face the -four. without which
no self-respecting womaR's toilet IS
complete, and barreled said -four for
market by the aid Of the young wO-
mans hoops, his story would possess a
completeness and symmetery which
would cause it to pass current every
where as great and unproaehable
work of art.

A Bold Robbery.

One night last week the little cloth
ing store in front of the Court House
was broken open and about $135 worth
of clothing stolen. The front door
was forced open and entrance was made
from the main street. This is less
than block from the main square and
the police headquarters. Don't know
where the police were-perhaps his
beat is too large.

The pressure in favor Of the abolition
Of child labor in factories is becoming
stronger. A less number Of children are
employed than formerly, and as the va
rious State Labor Bureaus turn the light
Of statistics upon this evil it will more
and more recede. As child labor is with
drawn from the market, the price Of adult
lab,F will increase, 50 that the family in

price Of the life-blood Of their progeny.

WHY Q 'BRIHN WAS REMOVED.
DUBLIN, Nov. 3.-The Irish prison
board has directed that O'Brien shall!
wear the prison uniform, and be treated
IN every way as an ordinary prisoner.
Vaudeville was also taken to Fulismoof,
where O'Brien is confined. A strong es-
cort of police accompanied the prisoners
on the train from Cork. It is generally
believed O'Brien's removal from the Cork
jail was for the purpose Of preventing the
Mayor of Cork from visiting him daily in
his official capacity, and making Official
reports concerning his condition.
SLEPT ON PLANK BED.
DUBLIN, Nov 3.-The cell in Fullamoor
jail, in which O'Brien has been placed, is
eight feet lorg and six feet wide. He
slept last night on plank bed. He has
that he will refuse to do mental ofices,
wear the prison GARD or associate with
criminals. The governor will await
ofdcial notification from the general
prison board before enforcing their de-
cision that Mr. O'Brien should be treated
as an ordinary prisoner.
UTTERANcEs OF UNITED IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Nov. 3.-United Ireland to-
day has two columns of reports of meet
ings of suppressed branches of the Ma
tionaI League. In an editorial 1t charac-
terizes the removal of O'Brien to Fulla-
moor Jail as an outrage, and says it was
done in behalf Of the landlords. Hence
forth, it Gays, the people will make the
landlords hostages for O'Brien's safety.
The plan of campaign will become not
merely the tenants weapon of defence,
but an instrument OF vengeance. 1t says:
CIVIL Ir1shmen remain quieEcent and
not r9ze his torturer's house to the
ground?. Please God not quite. If
O'Brien is harmed, for every hair of his
head Irishmen will exact compound ven

The commissioners of quarantine have

port saYe: Domestic manufacturers have
st last triumphed over their linn
itationS and obtained success
In spite Of inadequate facilities.
On this subject General Benet says: SIT
is believed TO be vital interest of the
whole country that such liberal sppropri-
atoms be made by Congress from year to
year until our present utter restitution
as TO modern guns be relieved as shall
furnish substantial encouragement and
aid that our steel industry demands. As
q step in this direction have asked in my
annual estimate for an appropriation of
81, 5000 for the procurement of forging
for inch and 10 inch breech- loading
Steel guns. This sum should procure
steel iur about fifty eignt-inch guas and
about forty ten-inch guns, and to allow
the necessary time to erect an additional
plant this appropriation should be made
available until expended. The dynamite
guns with limi'ed range cannot be left 70
the mercy of much longer reaching guns
Of the enemy's ships. Attack
ing ships must be kept at
the distance Of hesvy guns
therefore necessary and must be provided,
anu OOA OHA uhp1ObCSlCO NOiok OCWdAOS
that they De supplied quickly.
The report says that the dynamite tor
pedo gun has been fairly perfected, and
it Is recommended that a one-halt inch
gun be purchased for exhaustive trials to
determine its full capacity and fitness for
coast defense. Favorable mention is also
made of Stevens dynamite shell. 1t Is
said that with the exception of the TWEEN
ty-fve l5 inch sreech-l0ading Acid guns
asst issued there are in store only old
muzze loading guns oflimited power rep
resenting q system twenty five years old
and now obsolete, while there are TO
serviceahle carriages. An estimate Ct
1926, 900 is accordingly submitted for the
purchase Of sixty completely equipped
steel guns. Ballstic tests of the eight
inch guns, 1t is said, show higher effective
energy than any gnn of like calibre ex-
tent.
